18 More Days to F*** Off

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/12/background-check.html The background check seems to be ok, no complain or anything so far, to be sure I also dropped the recruiter a message to ask where do I report to on my first day, he told me they will email me one week before for onboarding, means should be good la. Now I just left 18 working days, really can't wait to quickly serve finish and get the hell out of there, that place getting more and more jia lat, I'm not the only one feeling sibeh pek chek, those that I close to just waiting for bonus only, the turnover rate is pretty high already, next year after bonus, probably even higher. Looking back really regret rejoining, sigh, should have taken the offer from "Interview 1", it's a big firm after all, I used to work at big firm so I'm more used to standards, SOPs and documentations, problem with SME is severe lack of the mentioned, everything is "cowboy style" and use imagination and mos...

Background Check

My new employer engaged a vendor to do background check, so far they asked for quite a number of things, like my last 5 years of employment history, my education certs, reference contacts, CPF statements, payslips, letters of appointment, I think the purpose is to check to see if what I wrote in my resume is true or not, I guess it is pretty common to fake resumes. They do have an option for me to disallow contacting my current employer, but then for the past 5 years, for me it's the same employer just that I left the company once, so the employment period for the first time becomes the previous employment. Then yesterday the new employer HR contacted me and told me the background check vendor was unable to complete verification for my previous employment lol, probably because I disallow them from contacting my current employer and it happens to be the same company as my previous employment. End up I just send them my 5 years of CPF statements and both letters of appointment. By th...

Baby Going for Heart Operation in 2024

Yesterday wife bring daughter to see heart doctor, he said next year have to plan for heart operation during school holidays, I didn't manage to go together because serving notice so cannot take leave, I no more leave anyway. Good thing wife told me can email the doctor because he shared his email, actually the doctor also asked me to email him a few times already but I keep forgetting about it, didn't really pay much attention because nothing firmed up yet, but now that I know 2024 will have heart operation so I emailed the doctor, asked if we can plan via email, he asked if it is ok to call me next month, I said ok. Hopefully can plan out everything via email or phone call because I still have a 3 months confirmation period at new job so can't take leave also. By the way wife also supposed to go for operation, she seen the surgeon last month but declined going for operation, said she feels healthy, well nobody can't force her, ultimately it's her decision, I can o...

DBS Anti-Scam Team

My wife asked me to help transfer some money to MIL for payment of insurance, about S$1000. Today I tried to send, I thought it went through but somehow the amount is not deducted from my account, usually it does so I thought maybe weekend so they will deduct on next working day. Then not even 5 minutes, got a guy from DBS Anti-Scam team called me and asked about the transfer, the purpose of it and asked me if I'm sure the account is correct, told him I sending on behalf of my wife to MIL and not the first time I sent to this account, he then verified some of my personal particulars, finally he say they will proceed to process. Damn I'm impressed, nowadays DBS so on one, I think this is a good thing, I don't mind that they call me up to do a check, it's not as if I send money overseas all the time anyway. Good job DBS.

Current Company Makan Salary?

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/11/finally-throw-letter.html Today the HR looked for me, sort of told me my annual leave will be forfeited and no using of annual leave to offset my notice period, basically I still left with 3 days of annual leave, I serving notice but short of 3 days so I thought can use the leave to offset, then HR asked me if I'm ok with it, I just say I starting work at new job the very next day after my last day so no choice, I said just go ahead to process my resignation. After I reached home, I took a closer look at my contract, can't find anything about forfeiture of leave, I then looked in employee guideline document it did mention cannot take leave or offset notice period with annual leave but nowhere did it mention forfeiture of leave for my case, it also mentioned they will pay back unconsumed leave in following month after staff left, now that's conflicting from what the HR told me, not sure if there is any miscommunication. Bas...

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation ...
